American wild ale generally refers to beers brewed in America using yeast or bacteria in addition to Saccharomyces cerevisiae for fermentation.[1][2][3] Such beers may be similar to traditional beers such as Lambic and Oud bruin, and are typically fermented using a strain of brettanomyces for part or all of the fermentation.[4] The use of brettanomyces can result in a funky flavor profile. Examples include Jolly Pumpkin Perseguidor,[5] Avery 15[3] and Brabant,[6] Ommegang Ommegeddon.[7]

Individual styles can vary from "light or dark, hoppy or malty, strong or sessionable, barrel-aged or not".[8] They often have "sour notes as well as barnyard, Band-Aid, animal or earthy characteristics".[9] Some varieties included "mild fruits, such as apricots, to balance the acidity and sourness".[10] These brews have been said to attract both "hardcore beer fans and serious wine lovers".[9]
